Echo I hadn’t seen the door before. It wasn’t there last night. Cautiously, I turned the handle. I knew I shouldn’t have done it though because the next thing I knew I was plummeting into a dark and empty room, that’s if it even is a room, pretty sure I just fell into the void because of how long I was falling. I can’t really see if I am falling or not, probably because I don’t feel anything and I can’t look around because of the sharp vertigo. I can’t even describe what I can see looks…

It does not, in fact, catch me, instead I am falling. A branch knocks me back onto the ravine wall.

They grow and burst, flowering down my arm. I follow…
That’s a lot of ifs and I really don’t want to be around to find out. I carefully flip through the rest of the pages. Same as before; just codes and formulas. There’s one word that shows up over and over again. Norreach. For what I can make out and guess, it’s some kind of program, connected to the nuke, to the other bombs, to other cities. Annoyingly, it causes an itch in the back of my head. I swear I’ve heard that name before. After several minutes of searching my mind, I give it up.…

As I finish my dinner this gloomy Halloween night I see two little shadows creeping in my window. I sauntered to my window finding out that it was Jem and Scout passing by like they usually do, Scout was in an unusual ham costume that you could barely see her eyes and Jem was in regular clothes. Since I was finished with my dinner I put my dishes in the dishwasher as I saw a bigger shadow creeping in my window. This time the shadow was hunched over like it was trying to creep behind Jem and…
There are multiple concepts throughout our text that I learned of that were interesting. I believe that the concepts of the benefits and disadvantages of being diagnosed with a disorder, psychological treatments, and the scientific method was however the interesting subjects that applied to me. Throughout the course I was able to relate to these and understand them, and they are something I believe I will find useful in a future setting. These concepts also help me understand certain situations…
